Entering NASA at the age of 15
In 1999, a 15-year-old boy named Jonathan James hacked into NASA systems and stole source code. NASA was forced to shut down for three weeks, resulting in a loss of $41000.
The ending of the genius hacker
He didn't end up in jail because he was too young. Later, he was hired by the FBI as a consultant to teach how to prevent hackers. Unfortunately, he later became involved in other cases and committed suicide at the age of 24.
Other outrageous events
There are also those who hacked into the Pentagon at the age of 13, and some who hacked into banks and transferred billions. In the world of hackers, there is only a thin line between geniuses and criminals.
